I may be a white male Canadian but,dude, DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOUR SELF! As a favourite song of mine says: THEY MAY HAVE YOU SCARED, BUT THE CAN'T MAKE YOU RUN!

The strength you need to continue is in your heart!

Working in the East Bay and having assigned the Youth Outlook (YO!) magazine to my teens, this piece will be made into an incredible assignment for my kids next year. This will help show my kids that all of us can overcome the obstacles given in life. Thanks for your strength - your message will be heard by hundreds of teens in my classes.

The struggle continues. He's not the first nor the last person of "color" that this system will unload it's refuse on.
Our question to all people of "color" who witness this young mans story is how long will you sit on your hands and watch these type of things happen to your people before you stand up and actually do something about it?

As a person of color this youngman makes hope
more realistic for young people. Its never easy
getting back on track but it can be done.
It was straight ahead no bull just someone dealing with was dealt.
